Veggie oil question

<< < (2/2)

Guardian.:
buy a ford iveco, runs on neat veg oil from morrisons for 4 years never serviced, very abbused and never missed a beat after about 80,000miles, same as every other derv vehicle ive ran on it( not always neat though). different engines run differently on it some need about 10 percent deisel in it others 25 percent, just to keep them running nice and smoothly.
but still loads of people will tell you you cannot or it will bust yer pump bla bla bla, i and many people i know of whome do very high mileages run on it day in day out, year in year out, no probs.

Range Rover Blues:
Doesn't the Ford run the Derv through the head to keep it warm though, perhaps this is why it's so much happier on Veg oil.

Another option is kerosene, though it's not tax paid nad you need to add a gallon of glug to every 200 gallon drum to stop the pump packing up.  I know of people who do it though.

KevinStorr:
Kerosene isn't any better than derv for the enviroment or the engine.

People who use it are generally only intereted in saving money.

Would that have an inline injection pump? If so they are pritty hard.  The rotary types you get on cars are the ones more likely to develop problems.

I've herd the larger truck engines seem to be the happyest on veg oil, partly for that resion.
